Ben Sira 29:6

Listen to Ben Sira 29:6
6 If he prevail, he shall hardly receive the half, and he will count as if he had found it; if not, he hath deprived him of his money, and he hath gotten him an enemy without cause. He payeth him with cursings and railings, and for honor he will pay him disgrace.

Ben Sira 29:6 In-Context

4 Many, when a thing was lent them, reckoned it to be found, and put them to trouble that helped them.
5 Till he hath received, he will kiss a man's hand, and for his neighbor's money he will speak submissively; but when he should repay, he will prolong the time, and return words of grief and complain of the time.
6 If he prevail, he shall hardly receive the half, and he will count as if he had found it; if not, he hath deprived him of his money, and he hath gotten him an enemy without cause. He payeth him with cursings and railings, and for honor he will pay him disgrace.
7 Many therefore have refused to lend for other men's ill-dealing, fearing to be defrauded.
8 Yet, have thou patience with a man in poor estate, and delay not to show him mercy.
